A refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present disclosure comprises: a cabinet; a door; a shelf supporting arm; a shelf assembly; and a withdrawing mechanism for allowing a shelf to be withdrawn forward when the door is pivoted, wherein the withdrawing mechanism includes a sliding member, a link member, and a connector for selectively connecting the slide member and the shelf. The connector includes: a connecting unit selectively inserted into a receiving groove formed in the sliding member and having a first inclined face formed on one side thereof; and an actuation unit having a second inclined face formed on one end thereof to contact the first inclined face, wherein when the actuation unit moves toward the rear side of the cabinet, the second inclined face moves along the first inclined face so that the connecting unit moves to be separated from the groove.
